Construction of Sabetta Port on the Yamal Peninsula in Russia. The shore of the Ob Estuary on the Yamal Peninsula is home to huge repositories of natural gas. The Russian Federation decided to construct the Sabetta Port here in the northernmost part of the country with the aim of exploiting this fuel source. According to the plan, large quantities of natural gas will be cooled down into lique-fied natural gas (LNG) directly on site and then trans-ported to Europe, Asia, and America on special ships.
A particular challenge in executing the project was hav-ing to carry out the work in permafrost conditions: the ground below a depth of half a meter was frozen. That’s where we were able to beat out the competition with a clear advantage. All of the other vibrators offered by our competitors needed an apparatus to be built, in which the equipment would be preheated to working tempera-ture. Special diesel guns that used a lot of fuel were needed to heat the air. Our equipment, by contrast, required no preheating because right from the plant they were designed to operate in extreme conditions.
müller MS-200 HFV vibrators with müller MS-A 1050V power packs were used in this project. The work was carried out right at the edge of the water – so our machines stood directly on the surface of the ice, which was more than two meters thick at that point. The dock-side piles were driven directly into the frozen port water. Before the actual driving work began, workers drilled into the ice to a depth of 1.5 meters and melted it with steam. The entire project was completed on time despite the extreme conditions. In December 2017 the first gas tanker arrived at the new port.

There is specially tailored equipment for every application: systems on a pile driver ram are exceptionally powerful and ideal for large and complex construction sites. Excavator-mounted vibrators are designed for use in urban settings. Leader-guided units are impressively easy to transport and quick to set up on site.
Vibrators and power packs are part of the conventional setup of a modern system. The power pack – driven by a diesel motor – delivers the oil flow for the vibrator through hydraulic pumps, ensuring that the vibrator is supplied with energy to drive steel sheet piling into the ground using vibration.
Reliable perfor-mance even in the toughest projects: müller vibrators.
müller vibrators have a proven track record in foundation engineering stretching back 60 years. Suitable for a wide range of applications, their reliability and constant development make them a crucial part of day-to-day practice.
08 müller vibrators 09
Applications • Urban foundation works
• Areas sensitive to vibration
• Ideal for sandy soils
Advantages • Minimal ground vibration
• Optimal adaptation to soil conditions
• Technology that’s easy on both the equipment and the environment
Applications • Soils with moderate to difficult
driving conditions
• Suitable for heavy piles
Advantages • Adjustment to changing soil
conditions on site thanks to removable additional weights
• Quick changeover
HFV series – variable and resonance-free.These vibrators offer maximum perfor-mance with minimum ground vibration – ideal for applications in urban foundation works or in areas sensitive to vibration, all thanks to resonance-free starting and stopping. In addition, the amplitude can be infinitely varied during operations. The natural frequency of the soil can therefore be taken into account – driving proceeds effectively and yet with little vibration.
HHF series with incrementally adjustable eccentric moment – two in one.These incrementally adjustable vibrators are ideal for use in changeable geological conditions. The eccentric moment can be increased through removable additional weights, so with one machine, different amplitudes and frequencies adapted to the soil profiles can be achieved with the same centrifugal force.
Applications • Soils with light to moderately
difficult driving conditions
• Driving and extracting tubular piles
• Also in extreme climatic conditions
Advantages • Extremely robust machine design
• Easy handling and easy adjustment of clamping devices
H series with fixed eccentric moment.müller vibrators with constant amplitude – straightforward to use and robust. That is the foundation for good results in mode- rately difficult driving conditions. These vibrators are fitted with eccentrics that generate a fixed eccentric moment. With forced-feed lubrication and oil cooling, this series is equipped for applications in extreme climatic conditions.

Building a bridge across the Amur River at the Russian–Chinese border.Russia and China are constructing a railway bridge across the Amur River. The 2,250 meter long structure will connect the town of Nizhneleninskoye in the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia to the Chinese city of Tongjiang.
For the foundation of the structure, tubular piles with huge diame-ters and extraordinary lengths had to be driven into very hard soil. Some of the piles had a diameter of two meters and a length of 50.10 meters. Since they were supposed to protrude just 10 centi-meters out of the water, this meant that the driving depth was 50 meters. Other pipe piles had a diameter of 1.50 meters and a length of 35.10 meters. In this case the driving depth was 30 meters, as here, too, the pipe piles were only to protrude 10 centimeters out of the water.
Due to the extreme lengths of the piles, they could not be driven using equipment from our competitors. So, after multiple tests, the project managers decided to use our MS-200 HHF vibrator for the job. Our machine was able to drive in the long, heavy pipe piles with no problems. Everyone involved in the project was very pleased with the execution.
Examples of our services.
Creating a thin slurry wall in Graz.On the Mur River in the southern part of Graz, Energie Steiermark is building the Graz run-of-river plant. As part of the construction works, a thin slurry wall needed to be created, among other things. The executing company used our MS-100 HHF in combination with an MSA 840 V power pack for approx. six months to drive in the approx. 27 meter long beams.
The extremely difficult soil conditions were a particular challenge, in part because they caused heavy wear on the vibrator. This led to a constant need for on-call installation engineers. Nevertheless, the project was completed within the projected timeframe to the satisfaction of all of the parties involved.

Offshore work in the Yuri Korchagin oil field in Russia.The Yuri Korchagin oil field is located in the northern part of the Caspian Sea. Lukoil wanted to erect an ice-resistant drilling plat-form there, consisting of two blocks: the production plant and accommodation for personnel. In order to drive in the pipe piles of the foundation, which had an external diameter of 84 inches (2,134 millimeters) and a length of up to 71 meters, our cus-tomer needed a high-performance machine with a powerful crane and gripper unit. Only with this equipment was it possible to grip the piles on their sides and hold them while they were aligned – after all, this process calls for strong and stable clamping.
After extensive consulting, we came up with the ideal solution with the customer: they would rent an MS-240 HHF from us along with an MS-A 1150 V power pack. The vibrator was laid on
its side at the construction site. The piles were then gripped on the side, straightened up, and then inserted into a “conductor”. This drive pipe prevents sliding while the tubular piles are posi-tioned. They were then driven in to a shallow depth with a vibra-tor at first, and then hammered in using a hydraulic hammer. Sev-eral challenges had to be overcome at once during the process: the lubricant could not be permitted to escape the inside of the vibrator, nor could pipes end up sinking into the sea or sliding while being driven due to a handling error.
The work was completed according to plan to the great satis-faction of everyone involved. In a second construction phase the drilling platform was expanded – and once again our MS-240 HHF was on the job.
Building an underground parking garage for the “Cosmos” business center in Saint Petersburg.An underground parking garage was to be constructed in Russia’s Saint Petersburg. In the course of the building works, the con-struction firm had to create a sheet pile wall, and pipe piles with a diameter of 1,420 millimeters and a length of 28 meters were to be used for this.
The on-site soil conditions presented an extreme challenge. Very high forces were needed to drive piles with these dimensions into the compact loamy soil. At the same time, the fact that the area was built up so densely also had to be considered. After inten-sive discussion, those involved in the project opted to use out MS-200 HHF. We are the only ones offering a vibrator of this magnitude on the market in general – and certainly on the Russian market. Our machine reliably met all expectations with-out problems. The work was completed on time.
Driving piles in a vibration-sensitive areas in Saudi Arabia.A construction company is executing a wide range of infrastruc-ture projects in Saudi Arabia for the oil company Aramco. So close to refineries and pipelines, there have often been complications in the past that were only overcome with a great amount of effort. In these areas, the vibration of steel sheet piling and pipe piles is often prohibited or greatly restricted. The reason for this is because strong vibrations affect underground supply lines like gas pipelines and can lead to damage.
Ultimately a solution was found for this challenge: In areas sensi-tive to vibration the company uses our MS-32 HFV, which was previously adapted to suit the special conditions of the region. Its variable technology works with reduced vibration, offering maxi-mum flexibility. The company is confident that it will be able to execute new projects as well for its major customer thanks to the new machine.

Concentrated power for the vibrator: müller power packs.
Power packs are needed to supply the hydraulic vibrators with energy. Inside a noise-insulated housing, diesel motors run hydraulic pumps that supply the necessary flow rate for hydraulic motors via hoses to the vibrators.
The low-noise, fuel-efficient integrated diesel motors comply with the latest exhaust emission regulations. The programmable logic controller can be operated via cable or radio remote control and is used to optimize and monitor the workflows. Optionally, operating parameters and machine data can be called up remotely online via data modem.
müller fine filters.The bypass oil filter is a filter system that supplements the hydraulic filter already fitted. The bypass oil filter is used for the fine filtering of the hydraulic oil. The lower flow rate via the filter means that a much finer filter can be selected than is the case with standard filter elements. Therefore, much finer particles can be removed from the oil than is the case with full-flow oil filters.
müller winter package for power packs.For use in temperatures down to -25°CThe winter package contains:• Preheaters for hydraulic oil and diesel engine cooling water,
with external power supply (220–240 V)• Option: set of covers for closing off the unit’s air intakes and air
outlets• A reduced airflow through the unit to help the unit reach its
operating temperature faster• Operation with some air intakes and air outlets closed depend-
ing on the ambient temperature• Better economy thanks to faster deployment and fuel savings
Advantages • Compact, lightweight design thanks to
closed oil circuit
• High degree of reliability through the use of compo-nents such as diesel motors, pumps, and controllers that have been tried and tested on the building site
• Extensive range of accessories, such as a remote maintenance package, winter package, or fine bypass filters
Mobile measurement, logging, analysis, and archiving of vibrations: müller data acquisitionOur data acquisition system enables simple and reliable monitor-ing of the driving process to ensure that the design requirements are adhered to. The data acquisition equipment is integrated directly into the drive’s control unit. The data can then be sent to an internet server, for example.

Extracting steel beams for an apartment building in CopenhagenThe population of Copenhagen is rising – and apartment devel-opment is booming along with it in the Danish capital. After the completion of a building shell in the center of the city, HEB 300 steel beams measuring eleven meters long were to be extracted. They had been driven with a pile driver.
Soil conditions made the task more difficult: lime, clay, and very compact loam turned the extraction into a real challenge. There was also little space to maneuver due to the neighboring build-ings. That’s where our Müller MS-6 HFBSG side gripper came in. Its compact size, high performance, and excellent maneuverabil-ity made it the ideal machine for the demanding task. The beams were extracted and then loaded onto a waiting trailer in one oper-ation, allowing the job to be finished in no time.
Driving wide-flange beams on a train track in KasselA train track in Kassel was to be shored with HEB 240 wide-flange beams. Site conditions were complex: the site was situ-ated between two double tracks, which were in constant use. There were also high-voltage lines long the section. The con-struction firm executing the project initially planned to use a truck-mounted crane and to suspend use of the tracks while the work was being carried out.
Ultimately the project managers decided to use our MS6-HFBSG side gripper instead, which allowed for the driving work to take place during running operation of the tracks. The advantages for Deutsche Bahn: no need to switch off the high-voltage lines, no track downtime, and therefore no impact on ongoing train opera-tions. Another thing is worth mentioning here, too: for the first time the MS6-HFBSG was used to drive beams measuring more than 15 meters in length.

RG 27 SRG 21 T RG 18 SRG 16 TRG 14 T RG 19 T RG 22 S
* thyssenkrupp Infrastructure is exclusive dealer for RTG products in Germany, Austria and Denmark.
For a wide range of requirements: RTG* pile driving.The pile-driver series from RTG includes machines in different size classes, which cover a wide range of applications when used in combination with various different attachments.
At the top end of the range is the RG 27 S, which facilitates heavy-duty driving up to 27 meters thanks to its rigid fixed leader and installed motor power of up to 597 kilowatts. The RG 14 T, RG 16 T, RG 19 T, and RG 21 machines are equipped with a tele-scopic leader and stand out for their extremely compact trans-port dimensions and quick setup times. The RG 18 S, RG 22 S, and RG 27 S models have a rigid, one-part fixed leader with an extremely buckling-resistant design that allows for heavy-duty driving as well as the use of drilling methods that require the mast to transfer higher torsional moments. All models are designed as universal machines for lots of applications and fea-ture an excellent power-to-weight ratio.
Advantages
• High efficiency through effective use of engine capacity (EEP) as well as through optimized hydraulic components – up to 20% less diesel fuel consumption for this reason alone (approx. 1,000 liters per month)
• Effective noise protection through encapsulating the vibrator housing and the fully automatic, integrated ventilation flaps on the carrier device
• Leader in compliance with exhaust emission limits (EU level 5)
• Professional support for the user when working (B-Tronic to record operating and machine data, luxury cab)
• Excellent occupational safety by largely avoiding manual work on the device, e.g. through the use of the ACS quick coupling system or hydraulic cylinder staking for the patented swiveling mast with up to seven fixing points
• Patented hydraulic clamping of adjacent telescopic rails on the undercarriage
• Outstanding mobility due to low transport weight (auxiliary winch with an option to increase or decrease ballast, counterweights with individual weights of 1.8 tonnes and 4.9 tonnes, ACS quick coupling system)
RTG telescopic and fixed leader masts are designed to transfer high tensile and compressive forces and handle torques. Together with their high engine capacities, they can be used as carrier devices for a wide variety of applications. For this reason, all attachments within one series are exchangeable – even within a few minutes when using the ACS quick coupling system. The core function across all models is their ability to vibrate in sheet piles and steel pipes. RTG equipment can also be used for a great many other purposes, such as pressing in sheet piles using a sheet pile press without causing vibrations, for making piles, or for use in various soil mixing processes.

Securing a trench in Ludwigshafeno secure the trench for an underground parking garage near the banks of the Rhine River in Ludwigshafen, a steel sheet pile wall needed to be installed, and the piles had to be driven as quietly and vibration-free as possible since the site was located near residential buildings and a recreation area.
The construction firm executing the project decided to use the RG 19 T telescopic leader, which is equipped with the latest noise insulation technology. Noise emissions, for example, are continu-ously measured, ensuring that operation stays comparatively low in noise.
The parties involved in the project were very happy with its exe-cution. They especially praised the extremely low-vibration driv-ing of the sheet piling.
Extension and renovation of public buildings in Bad VilbelThe Hessian town of Bad Vilbel wanted to build an extension to its town hall and renovate its Kurhaus civic center. In the course of the building project, a trench with 550 metric tons of tkl 604/6/7 steel sheet piling in lengths from 9 to 14 meters needed to be secured. Due to health and safety considerations, there were strict noise restrictions in place for driving the piles. Noise was limited to no more than 105 db (A) for eight hours per day.
For this reason, an RG 19 T telescopic leader was used with a 150 AVM vibrator, SILENT VIBRO version. These machines are equipped with the latest noise insulation technology.
The construction firm took continuous measurements of the building noise while the works were being carried out. All require-ments were consistently met – the installation of the steel sheet piling was especially low in noise and vibrations.

For especially quiet and low-vibration work:GIKEN Silent Piler*.
Water jetting modeHigh-pressure water jets reduce the pressure bulb by loosening granular soils or softening cohesive soils locally. The water jets are controlled to suit the pressing force of the Silent Piler when working in water jetting mode. The quantity of water and the pressure can be adjusted as needed.
An increasing number of construction sites are finding themselves in areas that are especially sensitive to noise or vibrations. Pile-supported pressing solves this challenge. The GIKEN Silent Piler exerts only static pressure on the pile section or tubular pile, and thus avoids the problems associated with vibration piling. In terms of cost efficiency this pile-supported pressing technology compares well with conventional methods, partly because it can be used around the clock.
Applications • Driving and extracting single U-sections up to 750 mm,
single Z-sections up to 708 mm and tubular piles
• Driving and extracting double U-sections up to 1,400 mm and double Z-sections up to 1,416 mm
• For sites where noise and vibration could be a problem
• Also suitable for difficult soil conditions when used in conjunction with appropriate driving aids
• Super crush and water jetting modes
Advantages• Low noise, no vibrations
• Can be used for night-time operations or in areas where noise must be minimized
• No ground settlement problems, no damage to nearby structures
• Stable machine design
• Remote control for safe, convenient operations
• No working platform necessary
• Simple operating principle with self-propelled travel
• Faster work with fewer operators and reduced workload
Applications in difficult soil conditions:water jetting mode & super crush Mode
Super crush modeSuper crush mode is a press-in method with integrated drilling process. For this the Silent Piler is equipped with an integrated auger to allow use in difficult soil conditions.

Creating a steel sheet pile wall in Schwerin.In a district of Schwerin, a construction firm was planning to erect a residential building. A steel sheet pile wall needed to be created to secure the trench. Self-propelled presses had to be used for this because some of the geological substrate was not good bearing soil. There was another challenge, too: time was short, as there had been delays due to problems with the struc-tural analysis.
After extensive consulting the company purchased a GIKEN EB F301 press from us, as well as a leader-guided four-fold press. Both machines were used on the site at the same time. This way the piling could be pressed in time with very little noise or vibration.
Replacement of a retaining wall in Crimmitschau.In Saxon Crimmitschau, the Deutsche Bahn carried out exten-sive upgrades on the train track there, including rebuilding the retaining walls. Since the site was directly adjacent to residential buildings and space was very restricted, leaders were out of the question. Another challenge was the ongoing railway traffic.
After intensive discussions, the project manager opted for a GIKEN ECO 700S in connection with the GRB system. This sys-tem facilitates the use of all equipment needed for pressing the sheet piles at the top of the sheet pile wall. This way the entire pressing operation could be executed easily. As no temporary working platforms were needed, the high costs of installed them could be saved. Execution also took less time.
The work was completed on time. Settling did not occur in the track system. Everyone involved in the project was very happy with the results.
